Owensboro sits along the banks of the Ohio River in western Kentucky, a place where the smell of hickory smoke and slow-cooked mutton drifts through downtown thanks to its deep barbecue roots. That tradition shows up across the local restaurants, which range from riverside smokehouses to bluegrass-era diners. After a day of exploring, travelers can settle into one of the city's hotels, many offering easy access to the riverfront and its live music scene.
